didn"t see anything about Silk Stockings foal who set the worlds record on a halfmile track in 82...nice lil hoss with 3 white socks and a big blaze...

Itís interesting that Temujin was the birth name of Genghis Khan, and Skipperís Genghis Khan, out of the outstanding little race mare, Robin Dundee, had four white feet and a white stripe on his face. Genghis Khan was three the year Temujin was born.

Race Time and Silky were both on the small side so it's no surprise that Temujin wasn't very big.

Genghis Khan...1:51.4 ? worlds record for a race at the time and was broke by Trenton in Springfield at 1:51.3.....1982

Didnít that 1:51.3 mark stand up as the fastest by a son of M Skipper? Donít Dally went the same, I believe.

That was a strange year. Several outstanding colts, but Merger, who didnít win anything else of note that year, won the Jug as the odds on choice, and Hilarion, who didnít win anything else of any significance either, won the Pace. Trenton didnít win anything. McKinzie Almahurst won the Holmes.

No Nukes was on the margins, and although Cam Fella won the Cane and Messenger, he kind of was too: knocked out of the Pace in his elimination and not eligible to the Jug.

There have been many years when two horses in a particular class have gone back and forth beating each other, leaving the horsemen and fans to argue their respective merits and decide who was best. These can be of either gender or gait and any age.

A good example would be Most Happy Fella and Columbia George, both of whom were pushed to the background by Truluck as two-year-olds, but came on to shine at three. On the surface it might seem that MHF easily outdid George, as he won the pacing triple crown, but he only had about $20,000 more in lifetime earnings than the latter, and when they went up against each other most observers tended to favor George who looked the part over the crooked gaited Meadow Skipper colt.

The fact that MHF had Dancer sitting behind him as opposed to Roland Beaulieu worked to his advantage throughout the rivalry. MHF beat George at Blue Bonnets in June when Beaulieu had to check his colt allowing MHF and Truluck to get away from him.

Next up was the Commodore at Roosevelt in which odds-on favorite Columbia George easily beat MHF and Truluck. Most considered George to be the class of the division. He reinforced that belief by setting track records three weeks in a row: :57.4 at Greenwood, :56.2 at Vernon Downs and :58.1 at Monticello. George paid $3.40 in the Commodore. Truluck came second and MHF fourth.

They each won a heat at the Adios, but MHF won the race-off. Again, bettors favored George who went off at 2-5, while his rival was 4-5.

Coming into the Westchester Pace in mid-August at Yonkers, MHF held a 4-3 advantage over George for the year, but the latter was installed as the 6-5 morning line favorite, while MHF was second choice at 8-5. MHF beat the favored George by a half-length in 1:59.

Del Insko was pretty much the only horseman who favored MHF over George in the Caneómost thought it would be no contest. Once again, Dancerís colt beat the favored George. And once again Beaulieu had to check his colt for some unknown reason.

Columbia George beat MHF in a preliminary leg of the Jug, but lost by a neck in the third heat final. MHF, who had been syndicated for $1 million prior to the race, went on to win the Messenger, then headed for California before retiring to Blue Chip, while George retired out of the Messenger and went to Hanover. It was no contest after that.
